Year 2163:Heavy Freighters 1 & 2 have been converted into Colony Ships 3 & 4 and are on their way to Ares with colonists.You have produced ten additional war drones.Weyland-Yutani is selling Pandorium engines at $150b a piece.Using a transhuman clone of Deidre Skye and a team of transhumans, you send an expedition to Pandora with the permission of the UN. You extract the corrupted samples of everything, including the "Tree of Souls", the supposed heart of Eywa. It's all corrupted beyond repair and most of the DNA has been transformed into gibberish nonsense. Close examination of a few tumours actually reveals funny anomalies: The helixes seem to actually spell out words. "Death", "Decay", "Leviathan", "Serpent", "Ouroboros", you get the picture. There was no sign of Jake Sully either. An Umbral observation of the landscape also reveals massive activity of creatures native to the Umbra, tearing apart the metaphor for Pandora's structure.Martian protests are turning into riots as millions of corporate employees walk out of work en masse, claiming that the UN and the corporations are merely exploiting them and not treating Mars like what it is - a whole world apart from Earth.A new organization has been created in order to send people who wish to be free of the tyranny of the UN to other systems to create new nations, free of corporations and free of the UN. They are paying handsome sums of cash. Request details, if you wish.Pandora will be euthanized next year.

Which you know, served them very well, even when faced with massive alien forces that even attacked them at the technological level.

Having a triple support system like the Magi Should be standard issue for any AI Computing we do. It's relatively efficient, safe, and has good PR possibilities- keeping that HUMAN element in the loop of decision making at all times.

----------------------Again!Is a man not worthy of that which he toils for?

We MUST not let some corrupt bureaucrat, or simpleton politician take what is rightly ours!

Militarize Ares is we must, build up our strength until no foe would DARE take what is ours.

>>10698641Can we get recordings of the Umbra creatures destroying the Pandora-analogue? I'm voting to start an Umbral fight. What's Pentex going to say? They can't say anything, otherwised they admit culpability in the destruction of Pandora. Also we should release the data concerning the corrupted DNA, and how it's sure as hell not natural.

>>10698743Approximately 4,562,000 individuals wish to be transfered to new, habitable planets where they can live off the land as they like without the interference of the UN or the interference of corporations.

The transfer deadline is 2180. If they're not on their way by then, they opt out of the project.

>>10698846Dedicate all possible ships to transporting these people, and build a few more transport ships with the newest security systems to prevent any kind of sabotage or disaster. If we start transporting these guys and a ship goes down, we'll be totally fucked.

>>10698641Find the origin of the colonization venture. Makes sure they are not a megacorp venture. If megacorp, we set up a competing venture AND send a spy into their midst. Get ready to make claims on all worlds they want to send colonists too. If NOT a megacorp, invest heavily into it until we take it over. Buy it out.

>>10698818You have recordings of it.>>10698801You lack the technology to do this just yet, you need more Umbral research.>>10698789You lacked the cash to do that. I was going with the requests that others already ordered.>>10698780This is a big call.

Does everyone really want to release this information?To the public or to the UN?

We asked few years ago for Morgan to give us territory on Chiron and build a colony. You even said you would go along with it... but I guess you forgot... its easy to miss things in this quest, it goes way too fucking fast.

>>10698762>Militarize Ares is we must, build up our strength until no foe would DARE take what is ours.

Actually, I think that this is an important point.

Simply put, we're surrounded by utter bastards. Ares is a prime location for colonisation, and with this new Mars movement that makes it a whole lot more valuable.

We can't rely on our ships currently stationed there. Not because they're not strong enough, but because I for one want to send them to Epsilon Eridani to fuck MNU for killing our colonists.

That could leave Ares undefended, just waiting for someone to move in and fuck with them. We should look into a dedicated defence force there, maybe a well trained standing army of natives, and defiantly some space based assets.

I'm thinking we should start of with a battlesation, and then back it up with tons of drones.

>>10698877Aside that we dont have mechas.Or Jehuty>>10698894Plasma, I second this.However, mobilize as many defense drones and military support craft we have.If we lose even ONE ship , we will lose a potentially huge chance for a PR extravaganza and the support of a new generation.

Get the Lone Gunmen on it to ensure safety and stop any dangerous situations or infiltrators.

>>10698846How about Tau Ceti? It's a virtual paradise, out of the way, and we haven't sunk a lot of money into it yet, relatively. Part of the deal though, should be that we get to keep a mining operation and such in the system. We won't interfere with them, but we'll be there if they need someone to bail them out. An escape hatch, in other words.

>>10698866>>10698871>>10698873>>10698905>>10698894It does not appear to be a corporate venture. It honestly seems to be a gathering of the rich and their families and the people that they know and are willing to support. It honestly seems like a through and through attempt to gain some independence of their own.

Depending on how many you get out of the solar system by 2180, you will get a percentage of that $27.8t.

All we need are potential colony sites, and then we get them to fund the ships we build in a joint venture (remember we just got those extra construction yards from RDA as well), yeah, we could make a few billion out of this.

We are currently having all of our Earth based shipyards making Cryo pods, right? How many could we fit in each pod and how many do we have total? Any idea on how feasible it would be to just make one big colony ship and take them all somewhere? I'm thinking something BIG, like, ten's of kilometers in size, just some pandorium engines and a fuckhuge line of towed cryo pods.

...If we knew more about Umbra, we might have been able to slow or even reverse the damage, but it's too late now.We made an oath we couldn't keep, and now all we can do is avenge Pandora, for wasted potential more than any sentimentality of course, but still...(I know a bunch of people on /tg/ wanted the Na'Vi to die painfully before the planet was cleansed... And the movie was nice looking trash, but this still feels wrong)

We don't want to send the Mars colonists to Ares, because that's against their "no corp control" clause. We can give them Tau Ceti instead, as it represents less of our investment, isn't already populated by an indigenous civilization, and won't eventually result in a colonist revolt.

We can't possibly meet the deadline in time with conventional shipbuilding techniques. We have to decide now, if we're going to settle for a percentage of people, or if we're going to offer uploading their minds. My vote is for trying to turn construction to a cuper-cryoship.

>>10699293We should just adopt some of their requests and try to gain their trust and business. It would not impact us seriously to make workers happy, and we could make a killing by having exclusive economic relationships with them. Maybe even sell some warships or technology if it comes down to it!

We should start agreeing to transport as many of those people as possible, and using the gained funding to construct as many additional construction yards as possible, designing new and larger ships- ten thousand people each? Fifty thousand each?- and then constructing them.

After we finish transporting these people, we'll be able to use these to found our own new colonies.

>>10699377Not even Ace Combat, just look at SMAC, and that was in-universe. If the unity had been eight ships instead of one that assassin would never of made a difference. Only one ship would of been destroyed and everyone else would of landed and gotten on nicely.

If we build one of these ships, we need a colony to receive it (it wouldn't look good if millions starved to death on our account) and should really include some sort of escort, but we'll have to talk to the UN about that.

Year 2164:The New People of Ares are spreading exponentially. They have conquered the continent of Lacedaemon and are ready to spread and conquer others with your aid. You are beginning a large production campaign to produce more military goods, as well as mandatory military training for everyone on Ares.You inform the UN of the Pentex situation. You tell them what you know of the Umbra, what you know about Pentex, everything.Research on Artificial Intelligence is complete - another early breakthrough.You have begun the construction of seven colony ships to Tau Ceti.The New Colonies organization has recieved response from several corporations, including yourself. Chrysalis, Morgan Industries and Weyland-Yutani. Weyland-Yutani starts a massive new campaign talking about the recent discovery of a habitable terrestrial rogue planet that drifted into orbit of one of their systems. An opportunity!The Pandoran Euthanization event is about to begin. The UN is inviting you to a private digital conference. Pentex is also attending. Join?

Yet, at this moment if we didn't have other corps to worry about we could successfully colonize worlds and bring up the population to ~5 billion, essentially giving us our own Planets and giving the possibility to form our own government.

Awesome on the A.I. research. Now, we;ve all seen the Terminator movies.PLEASE begin research on benign, pro-humanity limiters on their behavior, or at least put some strong safeties research in place.

Thirded on the Magi System research.It's a combination of our neural/biological research and our A.I. recent development, with built in safeties- the human brains will instinctively seek to protect humanity, provided we choose the RIGHT donor brains for the project.(Which we should.)

Also, treat our new A.I. friend cordially, and welcome her/him into our fold, and get him , willingly if you can to work on research.

You join the digital conference. It's between Regent and several key members of the UN. His face drops as soon as you guys enter the discussion.

"So, what are they doing here?"

"You'll see. In any case, you wanted to negotiate ownership of Pandora?"

Apparently Pentex is offering several trillion for ownership and also only asks for $50b per Pandorium engine, designed solely for UN starships.

This is how the UN responds:

"No."

A Weyland-Yutani representative joins the discussion.

"Judging from the reports we've recieved from SLINT, you're just not trust-worthy. And before you speak, the UN has its own research department. We know all about the Umbra and its secrets, just as they do. You can't fool either of us.

"We're granting ownership of Pandora to what has been the most productive and trust-worthy corporation so far: Weyland-Yutani. We shall purchase Pandorium engines from then for $25b a ton, which we shall use as we please.

"SLINT, your job is to ensure that no one else gets their hands on Pandora. You will no longer be assisted in this process by Pentex and if any Pentex starship appears in Alpha Centauri space, you have full authority to shoot it down.

"However, for security purposes, no military starship that you own that exists in Alpha Centauri is allowed to leave Alpha Centauri - for security purposes. If we detect an armed vessel leaving the system, you will be fined two hundred and fifty billion Do you understand?"

>>10699645>>10699356Oh, and we have produced 280 cryostasis modules, since we started there production in 2160, with 140 being produced each year. So 420 by the end of this year.

We have 17 years until the deal ends. in that time and at current rates of production we could have 2380 cryo modules out. Excluding for the reuse of colony ships (which will depend on where we send them to get started) we're just not going to be able to shift all these people unless we up construction some what, to around 250 each year.

That's not a huge amount, really. we'd need five or six more construction yards, to meet pod demand alone. And obviously we would have a backlog from when we weren't meeting the necessary output levels.

I've said nothing of ships, but I think it's 20 modules a pot, with current research the way it is, of course.

>>10699980You do not have any AI currently existing. You have the technology available to create one - and you can either create a biologically based one, using neural networking, or a standard, mechanical one. Your choice, really.

>>10699920>However, for security purposes, no military starship that you own that exists in Alpha Centauri is allowed to leave Alpha Centauri - for security purposes.Do this "*Coughs laoudly* Oh, I'm sorry, I'm allergic to bullshit."

"Give us one good reason why we should cripple our extra Alpha Centuri exploration plans"

Ofer transhumanity to each transportee, after signing a non-disclosure agreement.

There will be quite a lot of ppl ready to do that if they truly want to be free. The thing of getting a new body at destination has the same chance of you waking from cryo so a lot will opt for it .Offer it. Pluss they will pay the same price. Infomorphs

Go to meating . bea ready for momentous fuck up. if it is a fuckup release the files to the public. through all the news and nets...

>>10700009We already told you we wanted to research a Magi System.We have more than 6 votes on it.

http://wiki.evageeks.org/Magi

They are applications of our own bio-networking research AND our new A.I. research program.A triple-supercomputer A.I. intelligence with equal voting capabilities- that have a biological brain serving as redundant backups to serve as moderators for behaviours.

>>10700083Why bother making only one? As long as they have no access to anything important other than our research computers, which, by the way, should be completely separate from the corporate system, we can have as many as we want. Hopefully, they'll be delighted to help us to learn new things.

Every time we think things are going reasonably well, and sometimes when we know they aren't, we get screwed. I know it's part of the quest's formula, and it's actually pretty realistic, but it's also extremely annoying, especially when most of our attempts to prepare for future FUBAR moments result in pretty much nothing.

We will protect Pandora as well as WY and The UN's interests in AC with ships built in AC.

However, we will be allowed to move our current ships out of system, and the ban will only apply to new ships. Which we will of course build to protect as we say.

However, the UN will remove current sanctions on us within the Sol system. All ships we build, regardless of weapon capability, are ours, and will not serve the UN. AND, they will not tether us down with similar sanctions in the future. They can not impede the free market.

If they don't like this, they can try all they like to get to Pandora and the Pandorium. If they want to fight through our horde of ships in system, fine. Also, see how much they'd like to lose our solar power in Sol. And our portal tech.

You can see the bio-warhead crashing into the surface of Pandora, releasing the virus that will render the planet lifeless into the atmosphere.

"What was I saying? Right. Allowing the other half of your forces to be elsewhere in the Alpha Centauri system. You see, your star fleet is growing rapidly. We don't like that. We can't risk an attack on the solar system - after all, we're still not sure whether you assisted in the Neptune situation or not. However, if you going to be this disagreeable, we're also willing to remove our warship tithe from you.

"Additional punishment for Pentex includes a thorough examination of all Umbral technology to ensure it's safe, and we'll keep a close eye on any research that they may be developing in the future.

"So, what do you say to this deal? No more starship tithe but Alpha Centauri warships stay in Alpha Centauri, with half of them protecting Pandora."

...Time after time we've been nothing but good to the UN and have been the butt of no less than two different concerted sabotage events. Yet we've been punished along with the instigators. Does the UN have a 'no tattletales' policy?How much of the Earth's energy do we supply?

The deal sucks, but it might be the best we're going to get from them.

They have our Earth assets at their mercy. That's not good no matter how you look at it. Lets say that we'll do it as long a we're allowed to use our current 4 warships for security for transports heading to the system, in case of vengeful Pentex retribution attacks.

THIS.The U.N. might be planning something. Think, things could be going on behind curtains that we cannot see. Who says that the Weyland-Yutani did not bribe the U.N.? They are purposely trying to keep forces locked in place..

If we do this, you better prepare you asses for a fight. The UN is already under pressure due to the Mars Incident.We better already twitter(!?) or email our facilities to go into high alert and temporarily shift production to full military defenses.

>>10700199...I'm okay with this.Remember they only banned warshipsWith our modular design, it shouldn't take much effort to turn them into transport ships.So what if they're transporting weapons which will be equipped by them as soon as they leave the system?Technically, they won't be warships

>>10700199I'm pissed enough to declare war on the UN right now, but it's not worth it. Not without preparation.

This is a megacorporation. Government interference is never appreciated, but this goes above and beyond what we're willing to accept. An orbital strike above the UN building should make our point nicely.

"I'm willing to commit to this, but you have to understand that the galaxy is a dagerous place, we have already lost one colony ship to an unidentified Megacorp operating in Ep. Eridani, if Warships are allowed to leave sol, even after serving with the UN, to look after our other colonies then I will agree."

No, we do whatever we want with our ships in non-Earth space. We need them for protection and exploration. We have already been judged for our non-involvement in Neptune incident, you can't use that leverage anymore.Also, we are not playing a protector without compensation. I say we ask for 50% of Pandorium profits.

>>10700250Let's not go around making threats just yet. We don't want to come around as a bunch of greedy corp types like Pentex and RDA. I say take the deal, but I also want to see what Pentex has been researching. Request to be part of the UN investigation on Pentex. We want to see what they've been up to.

Listen 200bil$ a decade is damn small amount of pay considering what you are asking from us. We aren't going to leave our ships there when there are hostile corps all over the place (MNU destroying our colony ship)

>>10700317I'd like to do this, but we are businessmen, throwing a tantrum will only make things more difficult. Just keep an eye on Weylend-Utani for when they fuck up. If we keep ourselves more or less ethically sound, sooner or later we'll be the most reliable group.

The primary UN representative is about to blow his head off at you before the WY representative makes an offer. Meanwhile, Regent's screen goes off. Clearly, he's had enough for now.

"Hang on a second. How about this - if you assist us in the Pandoran blockade, we'll offer you two hundred billion per annum. It's barely a dent in our current profits, let alone what we'll be making in the future - and well, as a subsidiary, that's got to be at least half of what you're making right now.

"So, what do you say? In addition to the current deal, two hundred billion per year. I don't think you can ask for more than that fairly, can you?"

The UN representative fumes at you while the WY one waits expectantly.

I'm just one poster, and if the broad consensus is to draw ourselves into conflict with the UN, WY, Pentex, MNU, Tyrell, and even Zorg (not to mention the Earth superpowers, fuck with their electricity and NO ONE is ever going to want to use our shit, it's going to be a PR nightmare) then I'll have no choice but to agree.

BECAUSE.We are most likely being goaded into a fight. Or doing something drastic in order to get our point across.One that should NOT be done is cutting the power to earth. EVEN FOR A FEW MOMENTS. THIS IS A NO GO.

That is about 1/3 of our ENTIRE INCOME.And that is a DENT for them.We need to get boots on Pandora and start mining resources.Or soon we WILL BE outgunned on all fronts as Wey-land...OH MY GOD.Is Weyland corp building a system crushing fleet with with the money they are getting? Simply somewhere else with the money they are getting? As with the profit thing..

With that, the video conference ends with the UN representative looking like he's about to burn the WY one alive. Still, Weyland-Yutani's guy looks pretty self-assured and confident about it all, seeing as he offered you more cash than small countries make without breaking a sweat.

Over the next few days, Pandora's ecosystem disintegrates. All that is left is a barren, dead sphere, hovering in space.

>>10700639- Military ships in the Solar System must serve in the UN star fleet for 6 years after construction.- Military ships entering the Solar System are boarded and confiscated by the UN. Offending parties are also fined for $250b.- Military ships in Alpha Centauri cannot leave Alpha Centauri.

Make three, as per the Magi System, all part of the same support system, with the biological personality interface system we've perfected, to create the EVA style Magi- 3 AI's supported by Human Brains chosen for their humanity, their logic, and their ethics.

>>10700685I am still not sure about WY, especially with their latest offer. The fact that they were willing to make that offer in the first place so the agreement will be mutually beneficial may mean they have nothing against us. But at the same time I still don't trust them after the stunt they pulled to gain control of Pandora.

Anyway, I'll be accepting requests here for next week, but I'm done for the night. Didn't get as far as I wanted and it's been subpar really. Sorry for not being as good as I've been before but I hope you folks enjoyed it anyway.

>>10700798Relax. Pentex is getting it far harder than you. An entire decade of planning, gone to waste, all of their research, in the hands of the UN and the eyes of the UN on their every fucking move.

The UN is just as paranoid and just as powerful as any megacorporation and they will not allow any threat to them to exist.

Even though that program with the people who wanted to leave Sol was to avoid corporation interference, maybe we can set up another offer that we will create colonial cities on Ares where people can migrate there for a significantly cheaper cost. Say that we will maintain basic infrastructure but besides that allow the colonists to live without our interference.

At face value it would look like a PR stunt where we are helping people who want to colonize new worlds, but it will instead be an attempt to bolster the population of Ares so eventually once it becomes strong enough by itself we can move our corporate HQ permanently over there.

Hell, maybe even later we can try to rally the colonial cities and try to gain independence. So instead of being a corporation, we will be a planetary government. An entire world with a booming human population with an integrated Aresian population. With the backing of a fully colonized and self sustaining planet, we will definitely be able to get shit done. Fuck Earth, man.

Plasma already began building our New Magi A.I. system, designed to support our R&D for the future, and when it becomes stable and efficient enough to trust with security and such, we will have a better chance of dealing with hacking intrusion than before.

Moreover, we have the upper hand in the short term. Establishing mining operations will take time, and we will make money doing our job, which we are good at-defense.

We take this time to build up ARES and make sure we have shipyards and defenses elsewhere?We'll be golden.

Also, Kudos if we prepare our own bases on Earth System with self-destruct mechanisms.

>>10700961I always figured that we were trying to mold the Aresians into our bro-tier alien comrades. Like said someone said earlier, a client race of sort. Fully integrated into our society and treated as equals.

Since yeah.. every other attempt at subjugating an alien race in fiction always ends terribly, so why not make them willingly join us instead?

>>10700890Yes, but why the fuck are WE getting punished, AGAIN? What the fuck did we do? We even went out of our way to gather the evidence about Pentexes misbehavior. However you put it, there are no justifications for this.

Just because we have military assets in other system? I'm sorry, we are not the only ones who have them, how about MNU, MI, or any other corps? Do they get sanctions? No, they don't.

>>10701042I think it's because, thanks to Aperture Science, our proportions of size to power is off the charts. We have the biggest and most advanced fleet the UN know of, thanks to Portals we have nigh-infinite energy. Face it man, we're scary.Also, for AIs I vote we make GLaDOS and the Magi. We can afford it, and I think that they'll pay for themselves within only a couple years, and then they'll make us a lot more money.

>>10701042You're building a large military force in the most commonly observed system outside of the Solar system. The UN is extremely paranoid about this after your previous involvement with the Neptune incident.

Also, you entered a deal with an isolationist organization that wishes to leave the dominion of the UN. That's another point against you in the eyes of the UN.

Also, as far as the UN is away, your most valuable resources are in Alpha Centauri. You've got no reason to move your forces elsewhere, in their opinion, so this is just insurance that you don't.

>>10701232Still, no one could really come to a conclusion about who or what did the Neptune incident. As for why they're so worried about people leaving? As long as corporations have assets on Earth and in the solar system, they have a fairly large amount of control over you.

As soon as you leave entirely, you're not longer under their control. Anything and everything could happen.

>>10701222You want to make a kilometer long warship that is capable of turning into a giant robot?First lets start making ships of that size that are specifically not designed for combat, but can easily be modified for war. ...How much money would rich yuppies of the future pay for an Interstellar Cruise?

>Also, you entered a deal with an isolationist organization that wishes to leave the dominion of the UN. That's another point against you in the eyes of the UN.

What was that UN said about self-determination of people?Something like this I think:>Chapter 1>2. To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace;

So what, they are going against their most important principal of giving the right to people to self-determine and if they want to give them right of their own government and territory ?

Throw the charter in their face. If people want to secede it is their BASIC HUMAN RIGHT.

Also:Several megacorporations refuse to use the power that you supply. They own a sizable percentage of territory in the solar system. Also, the South American Alliance and India refuse to as well.

As for the result of the war between the United States of America and the South American Alliance, Columbia is the 62nd state of America. The USA also wanted dominion over Venezuela but they couldn't get it, it seems. Primary reason for the war is that America was quite terrified of a major power suddenly popping up just South of it.

>>10701283>As long as corporations have assets on Earth and in the solar system, they have a fairly large amount of control over you.>As soon as you leave entirely, you're not longer under their control. Anything and everything could happen.

So what?

Should have thought before going "lol, Capitalism, Free market, give all the power to corporations, derpe herpety derp"

>>10701354>>10701454Essentially Cortana is a self-aware computer program that is capable of learning new things about a variety of topics with no discernible limit, at the cost of said knowledge actually degrading her into non-functionality within a matter of years.

>>10701589It's called Rampancy. After a number of years, the AI becomes so absorbed in thought - about itself, about the nature of everything, philosophical stuff - that thinking takes up more and more of its processing power, its memory, eventually causing its vital functions to fail. It thinks itself to death.

>>10701589Essentially, it begins to allocate all its processing power towards intelligence, instead of maintaining coherency. things like their memory becomes so convoluted they begin to form infinite feedback loops.Before that though, they tend to become murderously insane.

>>10701631In terms of the major players in the 22nd Century:The United States of AmericaThe South American AllianceThe European UnionChinaIndiaRussia

Of course, there are still some internal conflicts and strong arguments, but when someone leaves the UN, it means that none of the six have influence over them. None of them are in control. They can't really have that.

It's 3:40 AM, I'm sweating like a horse and I am tipsy. I might not be making sense.

Well, you've got to accept life is a compromise.An A.I. with no learning limitation shackles can outperform another AI in intuitive leaps and such, but there's also a greater reach of the A.I. suddenly going"NUMBER FIVE IS ALIVE!".

And then, if you're not lucky, the A.I. suddenly might go all Skynet on your ass.

Shackling an A.I. and putting limits in it is for it's own good as well as ours.

>>10701661The process was alleviated in later models I think.Also of note is that "Smart" AI aren't really AI. They're actually a modified form of transmuting a human brain into programming. For ethical reasons in Halo at least the Brain was a copy, but the "Smart" AI are still 'imprints' of a human thought process.

But, yes. It's essentially a case of "well, I'm not using it, I'd rather destroy their power source than use the same one". Then the other nation goes "well, they might attack it, so I'll defend it, blab blab blab". You get the picture. Such reliance on a single power source is a weakness that can be exploited.

I recently bought STALKER and it's been hovering in my mind throughout the entire time. I've been constantly thinking "ENOUGH QUEST SHIT, IT'S TIME TO PUT ON YOUR UKRAINIAN FACE AND CAP SOME BLOODSUCKAS".

For the idiot clamoring to have the Mars secessionists relocated to Ares: that planet is already inhabited! It has a native population that we've been helping for the past several years! It's within relative spitting distance of UN military reprisal! AND THE SECESSIONISTS DON'T WANT CORP INTERFERENCE! THEY DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH US AFTER RELOCATION! THEY WILL FIGHT US ON THAT GODDAMN PLANET YOU FUCKING MORON!
